Capture One integrated Photoroom's AI background replacement service into its software, allowing photographers to automatically remove and replace or expand image backgrounds with AI-generated content directly within the Capture One interface.
Details
Introduced in Capture One 16.5.0 (October 23, 2024) for macOS Sessions, with Windows support and background expansion added in version 16.5.2, the Replace Background feature connects to the Photoroom API. Photoroom's AI automatically detects the subject, removes the background, and replaces it with a solid color, AI-generated scene, or transparent layer. A Photoroom API subscription is required to produce images without a watermark. Capture One and Photoroom have stated they do not use submitted images to train AI models. This feature is restricted to All in One and Studio subscription tiers.
